Here is a sample document in my index:  
{"\_id":"2018:05:03:19","\_source":{"0":9926,"1":53436,"2":81151,"3":56466,"4":29904,...}}.

I am trying to build a bar chart where instead of using aggregation I need to take the keys (0, 1, 2, etc) to use as X axis and corresponding values as Y. All aggregation has already been done in my pipeline.

Has anyone tried something like that? I would really appreciate any suggestions as I am really stuck on this.

Thank you,  
Dmitry

I think your best bet here is to still aggregate by \_id and use something like sum of 0, sum of 1, etc. as your metrics.

Hi Lukas. Thank you for responding. I was trying to use Terms aggregation but I cannot select \_id as one of the fields. As you can see from my \_id format they are date:hour based. Do you have any suggestions?
